About this listen
They say you can’t run from your past. But damn, I am determined to try.
I had finally escaped as I had always planned. Things were going great—I had new friends, a job, and a new life.
When I’m called back home to deal with an emergency, I do my best to fly under the radar. But I should know by now it’s never easy when it comes to the three Taylor brothers. They’re charming, arrogant, and downright dangerous.
It’s a catastrophic domino effect, and even though I try as hard as I can to move forward, there’s one rule I had forgotten:
The games are never really over.
Pretty Savages is a reverse harem taboo romance—meaning the main female character will have more than one love interest, and yes—it's downright dirty and taboo. The characters are morally grey, hot and questionable. It contains adult themes, course language and is solely intended for mature audiences over 18. Pretty Savages is book two in The Lies We Keep series.

Michelle Sparks has imbued Rylee with her voice bringing out her stubbornness and vulnerabilities. I do hope her arc will kick in soon as she is still pretty immature and a very typical FMC for a dark RH romance.
Chuck played by Aaron Shedlock is so far one of my favourite characters, he is interesting and mysterious but the way Aaron portrayed him is just pure perfection.
Joe Aden performs Asher, the stepbrother, while I loved Asher in book 1 (most of the time ), Joe is a master of performing on the characters emotions. Asher in this book is very linear and I hope he will get to grow and become the guy I can see him to be.
Anthony Palmini as Blake is the MVP of this entire book, breaking away from the mold and creating an unexpected narrative. He is authentic, original, and very well written. Anthony has taken his personality and performance to another level with this narrative and was absolutely phenomenal.
Sean Master, the growling daddy, performed Zayn with so much passion. I do love Zayn, he is that funny and fun guy that is perfect in a group of dark broody men.
I really can’t wait to see where this story goes and how the characters will evolve.
The production team is absolutely brilliant in creating this duet and editing it to flawlessly!
The full cast is absolutely amazing

I love that we're getting to know Blake and Zayn a little more with this one, but that all the relationships progress in their own ways through the narrative. As before, absolutely loving the sass of Rylee, and I love the friendship she has with Phoebe, and that it stays strong regardless of what is happening with Rylee's chaotic love life.
Another fantastic performance by Sparks, Arden, Masters, Palmini and Shedlock. Sparks is the absolute perfect choice for the snarky, sassy, take-no-prisoner's Rylee, and it really comes through in this book. I love that we get to hear more from Masters, Palmini and Shedlock, voicing Zayn, Blake and Chuck respectively, as their character arcs develop through the story, giving potential hints for what is to come, and answering some burning questions. I really enjoyed that whilst you can feel the chemistry between the characters with Macca's words, you can almost hear the chemistry with the narrators and their performances of their roles. The last chapter? Narrated to perfection - that's all I'll say, as you definitely have to listen to get it's impact.
Also, chapter 27? I thought it was hot in print, but it's next level with this stellar cast. I won't say anything beyond that.
So excited to get my hands on book three in the series, as this cast is genuinely elevating the story and bringing it to life.
The spice? Blush-worthy. The cliffhanger? BRUTAL.
